You held my shaking hands Like you could cure the past Said we would outrun the wreckage But we just crashed faster All of our midnight promises Stacked like fragile glass Now every word you left in me Cuts when I breathe back You swore we’d find a way I carved your name in place Now all I taste is blame And I can’t wash your face from my veins We were never meant to be You’re the wound that lives in me Every “forever” that you whispered Burns right through my teeth We were never meant to stay Still I scream your name in vain (yeah) If letting go will ever set me free Why do you still own what’s left of me? You said I’m “way too much” Then begged for one more night Pulled me close like a confession Turned my trust into a vice You left your jacket on my chair Your scent in every thread I keep throwing out these pieces But you haunt what’s in my head You swore we’d find a way I carved your name in place Now all I taste is blame And I can’t wash your face from my veins We were never meant to be You’re the wound that lives in me Every “forever” that you whispered Burns right through my teeth We were never meant to stay Still I scream your name in vain (hey) If letting go will ever set me free Why do you still own what’s left of me? You tore through my ribs (ripped me open) Built a home in my hurt (then you froze it) You said “this is love” (then you broke it) Now I’m choking on the pieces That you left me with I am not your empty space (Male growl) I am not your empty space I am done I turn away I will burn your shadow’s name We were never meant to be You’re the wound that lives in me Every “forever” that you whispered Burns right through my teeth We were never meant to stay Still I scream your name in vain (woah) If letting go will ever set me free Why do you still own Why do you still own What’s left of me?
